HTC Leo, First Phone With Snapdragon, Is a Screamer

htc_leo_gold_ddateI am entrenched in my evaluation of the HTC Hero Android phone, but another HTC phone is looking more interesting by the minute. The HTC Leo is slated to appear soon, and it will have the Snapdragon processor onboard, running at 1 GHz. This processor is believed to up the game on smartphone performance, and benchmarks have revealed the HTC Leo may be the fastest phone on the planet.

The benchmarks have shown the Leo to be more than 300 percent faster than the comparable HTC Touch HD on all 3D graphics tasks. That’s three times faster, last time I checked. The tests published show an astounding 1,822 percent improvement on one of the tests, and the raw CPU performance was a solid three times faster overall. The HTC Leo is looking like a real screamer, that’s for sure. I wonder how that performance hits the battery?

The full benchmarks can be accessed here, although they appear to be slammed at the time of this writing.
